Definitions
- the present invention concerns an extra-cavernosal penile implant designed to increase penile volume.
- the fat has a strong tendency to cause inflammation, which often leads to rejection, or obliges removal of the fat.
- the length of the penis is not significantly increased.
- the present invention plans to remedy the inconvenience and insufficiencies of the above techniques.
- the goal of the invention is to increase the total volume of the penis by increasing both its diameter and its length, using a penile implant which covers a part of the corpus cavernosum, in its penile part, or "penis pendulum.”
- the penile implant according to a first characteristic, comprises two independent cheeks, which cover the corpus cavernosum, without covering the upper and lower sides.
- the cross section of each cheek is preferably crescent like, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the distal edge can be located in an oblique plane which is in relation to the long axis of the implant.
- the device can include perforations.
- the two cheeks may be connected one to the other by a thin sheet.
- the device may present one or several areas of a material secondarily penetrated by neighbor tissues.
- FIG. 1 represents a section of the device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 represents a lateral view of the left cheek: in left view I, and in upper view II, as well as two cross sections at different points.
- FIG. 3 represents a left lateral view of the left cheek, inserted into the penis.
- FIG. 4 represents in cross section a variant of the device, where the lateral cheeks are connected together by a thin sheet.
- the penile implant according to a first embodiment is made of two cheeks, one left and the other right, independent from one another, whose transverse section is crescent-shaped.
- the outer side 2 is convex
- the inner side 3 is concave as represented in FIG. 1.
- the concavity can be more or less pronounced, and can even be null, the inner side 3 becoming flat, the cheek having then the shape of half a cylinder, not shown.
- the two cheeks are located laterally on each side of the corpus cavernosum in order to cover its lateral side without covering upper and lower sides.
- edges may be left free, or sutured to the corpus cavernosum, either directly, or by the intermediary of a strengthening strip.
- Each implant presents a distal extremity and a proximal extremity.
- the distal extremity 4 can include a progressive diminution of its thickness as illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the free edge 5 of the distal extremity may be cut in oblique at the expense of its upper edge, according to an angle A of about 45°, in order to conform to the anatomy of the sulcus of the glans on which it is supported, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the proximal extremity 6 uses an opposed support at the level of the suspensory ligament of the penis. This extremity 6 may be cut by the surgeon to the desired length, in order to get a tailor-made implant. If measurement is taken on an extended penis, the device permits an increase of the length of the penis at rest, which is added to the increase of diameter to realize an important increase of the total volume.
- the device is made from a bio-compatible material. It may be full and homogeneous and of a hardness comprised between about 25 and 50 shore A. It also may be made from a gel or analogous material. In this last case, it is surrounded by an appropriate sheath.
- the device may include one or several areas made from a fabric like DACRON polyester for example.
- the fabric will be then penetrated by neighbor tissues thereby preventing any secondary displacement of the device.
- the strengthening strip (not represented) may be made from such a fabric.
- the two lateral cheeks may be connected by a sheet 7 which is far thinner than the lateral segments 1 as illustrated in FIG. 4.
- the totality of the device may be more closed, and even completely closed (not illustrated) creating a hollow cylinder.
- the various segments of the device or the strips may be different in location, shape or thickness according to needs.
- the device may include perforations or grooves, not shown, so as to render the device more light and supple.
- Main indications are for patients with penile atrophy, either congenital or acquired, with a normal erection.
- the device allows a lengthening and an increase in diameter of the penis at rest, without changes in physiological erection, since implants cover only a small area of the corpus cavernosum, and therefore do not prevent the increase of circumference of the physiological erection.
- the choice of a material of a hardness comprised between about 25 and 50 Shore A provides a complement of rigidity which is able to allow penetration under satisfactory conditions.
